ABSTRACT Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine), a well‐known mammalian
hormone, has been having a great relevance in the Plant World in recent years. Many of its …

Blueberries are highly susceptible to fungal pathogens and oxidative deterioration due to
their thin epidermal layer, which can be mitigated by applying a natural polymer-based …

Abstract Effects of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) on the storability, quality
attributes, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism of litchis were investigated …

Fruit senescence is an important stage in the post-ripening fruit life process and has a direct
impact on the maintenance of postharvest fruit quality. Pears are among the most widely …

Litchi is prone to pericarp browning after-harvest, which seriously affects the quality of litchi
and causes huge loss. Pericarp browning is closely related to anthocyanin metabolism …

The current study investigates the impact of pyruvic acid (PA) as an activator of cyanide-
resistant respiration (CRR) on enhancing the cold tolerance of post-harvest plum fruit …

In recent years, cold plasma preservation technology has captured global attention among
researchers. However, most relevant studies have primarily focused on antibacterial effects …

Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (C. gloeosporioides) were
isolated from the decaying strawberry tissue. The antifungal properties of Monarda didyma …

This work investigated how salicylic acid (SA) treatment enhanced the storage quality of
longan fruit by affecting its respiration and energy metabolism. Compared to control longan …

Previous studies have indicated that hydrogen-rich water (HW) treatment can delay fruit
ripening and senescence. However, little is known about the HW-delaying pulp breakdown …
